Encyclopedia Index A Home Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Index A Albinism Definition Albinism is an inherited condition present at birth, characterized by a lack of pigment that normally gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes. Many types of albinism exist, all of which involve lack of pigment in varying degrees. The condition, which is found in all races, may be accompanied by eye problems and may lead to skin cancer later in life. Description Albinism is a rare disorder found in fewer than five people per 100,000 in the United States and Europe. Other parts of the world have a much higher rate; for example, albinism is found in about 20 out of every 100,000 people in southern Nigeria. There are 10 types of the most common form of the condition, known as "oculocutaneous albinism," which affects the eyes, hair, and skin. In its most severe form, hair and skin remain pure white throughout life. People with a less severe form are born with white hair and skin, which turn slightly darker as they age. Everyone with oculocutaneous albinism experiences abnormal flickering eye movements ( nystagmus ) and sensitivity to bright light. There may be other eye problems as well, including poor vision and crossed or "lazy" eyes (

Nearly all types of cells, such as skin, eyes, fur and hair contain pigment. Creatures that have deficient pigmentation are called albinos. In the coloring of paint, ink, plastic, fabric and other material, a pigment is a dry colorant, usually an insoluble powder. There are both natural and synthetic pigments, both organic and inorganic ones. Pigments work by selectively absorbing some parts of the visible spectrum (see light) whilst reflecting others.

64. Pedigree: Two Forms Of Albinism Pedigree Two Forms of albinism. albinism (absence of melanin pigment)is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. The left portion http://www.people.virginia.edu/~rjh9u/albinoped.html

Pedigree: Two Forms of Albinism Albinism (absence of melanin pigment) is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. The left portion of the pedigree above fits well with the observation that individuals affected with rare, recessive traits often have related parents. However, the mating in the fourth generation between two affected individuals produces an unaffected (normally pigmented) child and this does not seem to be compatible with a recessive mode of inheritance. It turns out that there are two forms of albinism both of which are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. In the pedigree above, one family is segregating for one form of albinism (A,a) but not for the other (B,B) while the other family is the reverse (A,A; B,b). Thus, the normally pigmented child of the albino parents is heterozygous (Aa; Bb) for each of the two genes. This document maintained by Robert J. Huskey Last updated on April 1, 1998.

Albinism En grupp sällsynta, ärftliga tillstånd med avsaknad av pigment (melanin) i huden (inklusive hår) och/eller ögonen (retina, iris och choroidea). Namnet härleder från latinets albus som betyder vit. Total (okulokutan) albinism är det allvarligaste tillståndet och kan vara kombinerat med förståndshandikapp, dövstumhet, polydactyli mm. Det nedärvs recessivt. Det förekommer också former med partiell, inkomplett pigmentdefekt, liksom former med fläckvis pigmentbortfall. De senare nedärvs ofta dominant, är mindre allvarliga, och skiljer sig från vitiligo genom att sakna en hyperpigmenterad kant och genom att förändringen är medfödd och inte ändrar sig med tiden. Avsaknaden av skyddande melanin i huden leder till ökad känslighet, tidiga åldersförändringar och olika sjukliga tillstånd i huden, t ex hudcancer. Hudfärgen beskrivs som gulblek eller vitrosa. Okulär albinism är associerad med utvecklingsrubbningar i ögonen (ex abnorm korsning av fibrer i nervus opticus och underutvecklad fovea centralis), och olika ögonsymptom (ex fotofobi och nystagmus). Iris blir rosa och pupillen röd pga ljusets reflektion i ögonbotten.

Albinism The word "albinism" refers to a group of inherited conditions. People with albinism have little or no pigment in their eyes, skin, or hair. They have inherited genes that do not make the usual amounts of a pigment called melanin. One person in 17,000 has some type of albinism. Albinism affects people from all races. Most children with albinism are born to parents who have normal hair and eye color for their ethnic backgrounds. There are two major catagories of albinism. Oculocutaneous (pronounced Ock-you-low-kew-Tain-ee-us) albinism involves the eyes, hair, and skin. Ocular albinism involves primarily the eye. People with ocular albinism may have slight lightening of hair and skin colors as well, compared to other family members. At present researchers have defined 10 different types of oculocutaneous albinism, and five types of ocular albinism, on the basis of their appearance by clinical examination. Newer laboratory research studying DNA has shown that there are numerous types of changes in the genes of those with albinism, including within families. Therefore, it is likely that the current system for naming types of albinism will change as research progresses. The most common types of oculocutaneous albinism are called "ty-negative" and "ty-positive". Persons with ty-neg albinism have no melanin pigmentation, and more difficulty with vision. Those with ty-pos albinism have very slight pigmentation, and generally less severe visual difficulties.

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Albinism Albinism is a genetic condition which results in a lack of pigmentation in the eyes, skin and hair. It is an inherited condition caused by altered genes being passed on from an individual's parents. Various problems with vision and eyesight can result from the condition. This entry is intended only to cover human albinism, although many of the features mentioned would probably also apply to albinism in animals. Table of contents 1 Lack of Pigmentation 2 Classification 3 Visual Problems Associated with Albinism 4 Genetics ... 5 Animals Lack of Pigmentation The altered gene which results in albinism prevents the body making the usual amounts of a pigment called melanin . Melanin helps protect the skin from ultraviolet light coming from the Sun (see human skin color for more information). People with albinism lack this protective pigment in their skin, and can burn easily from exposure to the Sun as a result. Lack of melanin in the eye results in problems with vision, as the eye will not develop properly without the pigment. Individuals with albinism (called albinos) often have white hair and pale skin which makes them stand out from their families and friends, and from other members of their ethnic group. This can lead to social problems. Growth and development of children with albinism should be normal however, as should their general

Home Birds Advice Abnormal feather colouring ... Fireworks and wild birds Albinism Albinism describes birds in which some or all of the normal pigmentation is missing. It is most often inherited, but can be caused by other factors. As it is a recessive characteristic, it only shows up when a bird inherits the albino gene from both parents. There are different degrees of albinism, ranging from all white to only a few white feathers on an otherwise normal coloured bird. True albinos lack colouring in all feathers and soft parts. Their feathers are white, and bill, legs and eyes are pink. True albinos are normally less robust in other ways and often have deficient eyesight and hearing. They rarely survive for long, and therefore are only rarely seen. Most reported albinos have normal eye, bill and leg colouration. Being generally conspicuous, they are more likely to fall prey to predators. Some albinos are shunned by other birds and will find it difficult to obtain a mate, but this is not always so. Progressive albinism can occur as a bird gets older, in the same way as people go grey Partial albinism is caused by the failure of pigmentation to reach certain feathers. While this is often hereditary, other factors such as unbalanced diet, old age and injury, or even disease and shock can cause albinism. In hereditary cases the white pattern is consistent from one moult to another, but albinism caused by environmental factors is often reversible.
